ygec if it's any comfort AA and going thru the steps may help him. if he's feeling pain and desperation as you mentioned it will probably be addressed thru this process. i thanked my T who specialized in addictions for all his help re my drinking and problems of self worth/feelings, etc. he told me that AA had done more for me in those areas than he. AA can be the best free therapy in the world, imo.
